** [[http://lafundacionscp.wikidot.com/scp-es-099 SCP-ES-099]] ([[http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-es-099 in English here]]) competes in malevolence with SCP-012. It consist in a piano that cause euphoria in anyone who hears it being played, a cashmere coat that makes people more skillfull instruments (specially key ones), and a musical score written for piano which is deemed extremely difficult and that cannot be played on its totality because it makes whoever play it to forget how to play piano. These three this are intended to be used together; doing so compels the player to finish the piece while the objects burn them until near death.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/conviction Conviction]] is a good contender for most horrific story on the entire site. A drunken man claims that he knows what SCP-001 really is, since he was in charge of it. Specifically, it was the Foundation's attempt at containing a deadly virus. What did this virus do? It slowly turned a person's muscle mass, organs, and body tissues into fat, raising their body temperature and ending with them being immolated. The problem was that virus only infected select groups of people and the Foundation couldn't understand why. What were these groups? [[spoiler: Jews, Romani, and Homosexuals. That's right, he's implying that '''''[[FinalSolution THE FOUNDATION WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOLOCAUST.]]''''' Not only that, but the guy they got was just as anti-Semitic and racist as the real Hitler, whom the Foundation had secretly replaced to take control of the Nazi party. He added people to the roster, like Slavs and the mentally handicapped, because he thought it would be all for the good of humanity.]]** There's also the implication that the virus is ''still around today'', but is luckily contained in a small region and surrounded on all sides by enemies. Where could they be talking about? [[spoiler: Israel.]]

Reason: Conviction deleted, as the SCP Foundation Wiki has sense removed that tale due to downvotes

** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001-ex-j SCP-001-EX-J]] is a joke and explained as understood. Except that it can still do unpredictable, devastating things, even in the modern era. It is NOT safe. It is NOT controllable, and it exists EVERYWHERE and can pop up from nowhere and wreak havoc. Cavemen discovered it, but no one can truly ever control it or the millions of casualties it causes every years. [[spoiler: SCP-001-EX-J is simply fire, discovered by cavemen. Fire itself, while EXPLAINED, can never be contained completely, or controlled completely and can appear anywhere, even from the air (lightning). Fascinating that this is not a former Keter object that is now understood, because fire is more deadly than most of the [=SCPs=].]]

** Take [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-000-j SCP-000-J]], for example. It's a catalogue of every SCP item, which anybody can apparently order through a simple phone call as if they were everyday items. When one of the testers did call and order one of them (a safe-level item), it disappeared from its storage and mysteriously got delivered to his office, and the amount he would have paid for it vanished from his next paycheck. Now imagine somebody finding this catalogue and ordering one of the Keter-class items...

Now imagine somebody finding this catalogue catalog and ordering one of the Keter-class items...more dangerous objects, even "Safe" ones?

Reason: If the catalog is not contained then technically any and every SCP becomes Keter due to the fact they can breach containment by being ordered. Object Class does not denote hazard, just containment difficulty.

* It's a pity that the SCP from the foreign branches aren't translated, because they can bring the creepy. The following come from the Spanish branch, ''[[http://lafundacionscp.wikidot.com La Fundación SCP]]'':** [[http://lafundacionscp.wikidot.com/scp-es-015 SCP-ES-015]] are pills that are impossible to ingest. Literally. Trying to swallow one just chokes you. Powdering and dissolving it to drink it only accelerates the process. If you manage to introduce it on some living organism it will cause their death unless you extract the substance from their bodies. And every time, the substance will reform into their original pill form once they got out of the formerly living being. But the real disturbing thing is its backstory: apparently its creator developed what could be constructed as an improved version of SCP-500, so good it really gives you immortality; but a super-religious coworker decided that this was an heresy, so they tampered with the formula so no-one could ingest the substance ever.

The Church managed to control the town in such secrecy that the SCP was only found by chance, but not before the originally small farming village has become a gigantic mining complex.

The doll was found in an abandoned house in a neighborhood after the disappearance of a number of children, which gives you a hint on how this thing was made. When in contention, a note from its creator appeared, promising the doll to rescue her. After a containment breach, which ended with the assigned personnel found with their tongue and several internal organs removed and dressed in baby clothes, ''another'' note from the creator was found, saying, more or less "I don't want you anymore. you're as evil as always.

It's implied that whatever she is containing has affected her, to the point that she has stopped collaborating with the Foundation, but the danger they present is so big they can't just be terminated, and merely permitting them to leave their cell can have a massive effect in all the humans' psyche.

Any non-vegetarian that enters the shop will order some piece of meat, and the butcher will happily provide it... But by some unknown way, he actually uses the customer's own flesh. Who then goes back to his house without even realizing that something is wrong (and without dying if the wound would normally be lethal) and eats his order, at which point he's freed from whatever was clouding his mind and dies from the blood loss.** [[http://fondationscp.wikidot.com/scp-024-fr SCP-024-FR]] is a rather large sandwich that compels people around it to eat it. Wouldn't be so bad, if the victims weren't compelled to try to do so in one go. And as the sandwich is far too large for being swallowed in one piece, they'll try to open up their mouths wider and wider, before trying to force it open with their hands... It usually ends with the victim ''breaking and/or ripping out their lower jaw''. Oh, and the victims feel every second of pain, ''and yet still go on even as they're bleeding to death''.** [[http://fondationscp.wikidot.com/scp-054-fr SCP-054-FR]] [[http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-054-fr in English here]] will cause nightmares to any aquaphobe. It's a phenomenon that only happens on the shore of some island, and which turns seawaves into jaws of great white sharks as soon as a potential victim comes near.
